When the Music Dies
Elegy of Lost Love: When Melodies Fade
Lyrics
Through the frozen pane
Observing the world through a cold window
I see the summer still
Perceiving the presence of summer despite the cold
I feel the warm, caressing rain
Sensing the comforting touch of warm rain
I hear the wind on the hills
Hearing the sound of wind blowing on the hills
Through the August nights
Reflecting on August nights and the warmth shared with another
The feel of the warmth of another
Experiencing the intimate connection with another person
Searing harmony within
Feeling a deep, emotional resonance within
Oh never again
Expressing a longing for a moment that will never happen again
Will you share this dance with me
Inviting someone to dance
With this dance all music dies
Declaring that all music ceases with this dance
Here is where our voices cease
Marking the point where voices and communication end
This is where our ways will part
Recognizing the divergence of paths and parting of ways
This fleeting memory
Describing a transient and fragile memory
Grains of sand through my hands
Comparing memories to grains of sand slipping away
It runs, like we did once
Noting the passing of time, reminiscent of past experiences
Oh dearest one
Addressing a beloved person
Will you share this dance with me
Repeating the invitation to dance
With this dance all music dies
Reiterating that all music ends with this dance
Here is where our voices cease
Emphasizing the finality of silenced voices
Here I bury my wretched heart
Symbolically burying a tormented heart
